Holding Back Tears

It was a dark and stormy night
you could say its "the story of my life"
Sitting in a park watching a plane take flight
Thinking of you and all the strife

Now I sit in dark rooms
while i watch the shadows move
pushing out all my fears
while holding back my tears

Wondering why I see you at night
not in person, its not real life
My heart in pain, my chest isnt right
I really thought you would be my wife

Thinking of how i used to hold you near
And all the joy you brought me was so clear
Now all the good memories are a blur
While I sit in a dark room holding back tears
